Intense flames engulfed Moltres's body. All that could be seen now was a massive, roaring fire; Moltres was completely hidden within it.
As Burn Up activated, Moltres unleashed every last ounce of the purest fire energy within its body, forming a tremendously powerful blaze of primal fire that rushed toward Aerodactyl.
Although Aerodactyl took only half damage from Fire-type attacks, it still dared not take this hit head-on.
Moltres's high Special Attack and Burn Up's base power of 130 were further enhanced by Charcoal and the boost from Ancient Power.
If Aerodactyl tried to meet it head-on and take the attack directly, it would pay a terrible price.
Nor was it realistic for Aerodactyl to defend through offense, using a powerful move to clash with Burn Up.
The power of Moltres's attack was simply too terrifying, already approaching that of Mega Diancie's Light of Ruin.
Aerodactyl had no move capable of unleashing such tremendous power, so it could only defend passively and hope to minimize the damage.
After all, Moltres could only use this move once. As long as Aerodactyl weathered this attack, its Rock-type moves would make Moltres much easier to handle afterward.

This was combat experience Sun Hai had accumulated over many years. Under these circumstances, using Wide Guard was the best decision.
The primal fire unleashed by Moltres struck the Wide Barrier. As the flames continued to
